This study examines the experience of crisis management and war in history, mainly through 24 case studies, culminating in the Gulf, Somalia, Cambodia and Bosnia in 1990-93. The disintegration of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, the opening of West European frontiers, and the conflicts arising or likely to arise from them are also looked at. Richard Clutterbuck considers the opportunities for resolving conflicts by the post-Cold-War UN Security Council, and the potential of NATO now that it is no longer tied to the iron curtain. He forecasts the patterns of future conflict, and the prospects of keeping the peace.

In a culture where the words 'doctrinaire' and 'dogmatic' are almost always used in a negative sense, there is a need to recover the positive value of Christian doctrine. The book provides a robust defence of the place of doctrine as an indispensable aspect of a healthy Church and as a tool for the renewal of Christian life. It will help the reader understand how doctrine came to be so despised and how some of the abuses of doctrine, past and present, can be avoided. Above all, it is a book about the given-ness of the gift that is God's love in Christ and the given-ness of Christian teaching as it communicates that gift. It argues that doctrine is one essential way in which Christ is shared and that, far from being a set of dry and irrelevant propositions, it is a living tradition that helps to shape the Church in the likeness of Christ.
